Professional Roofing Estimating Services for Contractors

This is a big part of what we do. Office buildings, warehouses, retail centers, shopping malls, hospitals, universities all run on flat and low-slope systems. One miscalculation on a 50,000 sq ft TPO roof and you're looking at a serious budget hit. We estimate EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing for commercial projects of all sizes. The takeoffs include membrane square footage, insulation layers, cover board, adhesive, fasteners, perimeter edge metal, and all flashing details around penetrations and parapet walls. MEP roof plan penetrations get captured too. Those are expensive items if they don't show up in your bid.

Asphalt shingles cover most single family homes and multi-family projects, but residential roofing isn't just shingles anymore. We estimate metal panels, tile systems, slate, wood shakes, and specialty materials for custom homes and higher-end residential work. Our residential takeoffs include material quantities, underlayment, flashing at walls and valleys, ridge ventilation, gutters, and all the small items that affect your purchase order. We've done estimates for studio flats, bungalows, condominiums, townhouses, custom home builds, and multi-family apartments. Works whether you're building new or doing a re-roof.

Warehouses, manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, power stations, water treatment plants, petrochemical facilities. Industrial projects are their own category. The roof spans are large, the systems are heavy-duty, and the details get technical fast. Standing seam metal, structural panels, and membrane systems are most common in industrial settings. We've handled industrial projects at 200,000 sq ft and up. Our estimates account for eave conditions, skylight banks, equipment curbs, and all the penetration flashing that adds up fast in a manufacturing environment.

LEED projects, urban developments, government buildings, and property owners targeting energy code compliance all come to us for green roof scopes. These projects attract scrutiny during value engineering, which means your numbers have to hold up when the owner's rep starts asking questions. We know what each sustainability certification actually requires from a roofing scope standpoint and we build the estimate to match those requirements, not a generic vegetative roof template. If energy rebate documentation or third-party commissioning is part of your scope, tell us upfront and we'll account for it.

Copper, zinc, lead-coated copper, slate restoration, clay tile repair. Specialty systems need a different level of estimating detail. Material costs vary significantly, installation methods are more complex, and waste factors differ from standard systems. We handle historic preservation projects, architectural feature roofing, and specialty systems for clients who need accurate cost data before deciding how to proceed. Not every estimating company handles these well. We do.

Not every job is a full replacement. We estimate partial repairs, coating applications, leak investigations, spot repairs, and preventive maintenance scopes. For storm damage and insurance claims, we provide rapid-response estimates covering hail impacts, wind damage, and emergency repair situations. Temporary protection gets listed as a separate line item. We also produce re-roofing versus tear-off cost comparisons side by side when contractors need real numbers behind the recommendation for their clients.
